Does anyone know of a good veggie marshmallow recipe?

Question

I have searched the world and found many recipes that don't work, but none using vege gel that do, can anyone help??

Answer 1

Gross. There is no such thing as a VEGGIE MARSHMALLOW RECIPE!!!!

Answer 2

Marshmallows (Vegetarian)
Makes about 1 3/4 lbs.

3 tablespoons veggie gelatin (see notes)
1/2 cup water

2 cups sugar (unbleached works fine)
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Soften gelatin in water for 1 hour.

Prepare a syrup. Place in a heavy pan over low heat and stir until
dissolved the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.

When the mixture start to boil, cover it about 3 minutes to allow
any crystals which have formed to be washed down from the sides of
the pan. Continue to cook uncovered and unstirred over high heat
to the firm-ball stage (244 degrees F). Overcooking makes the
marshmallows tough. Remove the mixture from heat and pour slowly
over the gelatin, beating constantly with an electric mixer.
Continue to beat about 15 minutes after all the syrup has been
added. When the mixture is thick but still smooth, add vanilla.

Put the mixture into an 8 x 12 in pan that has been lightly dusted
with cornstarch. When it has dried for 12 hours, remove it from
the pan, cut it into square with scissors dusted with cornstach,
and store the fully dusted pieces in a closed tin.

Chocolate-Mint Marshmallows: Sustitute creme de menthe for the
vanilla, cut the marshmallows into desired shapes and dip in melted
non-dairy dark chocolate.

Coconut Candies: Substitute coconut extract for the vanilla and
roll the damp marshmallows in toasted coconut instead of cornstarch.


Notes: Most gelatins are not vegetarian, whether kosher or not.
Gelatin is often considered "parve" (or neither meat nor milk)
because it is so far removed from the original source and goes
through so much processing. Vegetarian Gelatin is rare, but it
does exist. The best brand I have found is Emes Kosher-Jel. It
is made from carageenan, locust bean gum, and maloto-dextrin (not
a cow hoof or pigskin in sight).

The company almost went out of business a year or two ago, but have
since been bought and are making a comeback. I know all this
because I posted this marshmallow recipe about 3 years ago on the
web and then couldn't get the product anymore. People pestered me
for about 2 years until I finally tracked down the whereabouts of
the new company location, etc.

Emes Kosher-Jel is available (at least in the Southeast U.S.) from
Clark Distributing in Hendersonville, TN. [phone].

It's fantastic and comes in plain (for marshmallows, etc.) and
fruit-flavored varieties that are naturally flavored and colored
and sweetened with fructose.

Answer 3

Sorry, I don't have a good vegetarian marshmallow recipe, but it's just bothering me that most people don't understand your question. Marshmallows are made with gelatin (not glutin), which is made from boiling leftover dead animal parts and skimming of the protein from the top (gah-ross!!!), so regular marshmallows are NOT vegetarian. I've heard of using agar-agar in place of the gelatin, but I haven't tried it.
Anyway, the gelatin is what makes marshmallows "poofy" so you can't just take it out without replacing it with something else.
Marshmallow creme is usually vegetarian, but that probably doesn't help.

Answer 4

Cheryl B has a good recipe. In response to the vegetarian "gelatin," you can find agar (also called agal agal) in some supermarkets. It works as a good substitute with gelatin, which is made from animal connective tissue. Agar is made from seaweed, so it is completely vegetarian. I found packets of agar, looks similar to gelatin packets, at Ranch 99, and occasionally at Whole Foods. Pectin also works, but it makes the marshmallows slightly jelly like.

Answer 5

I made imitation rice crispy treats using a vegan marshmallow sub and rice puff cereal. Opt for the smaller-sized ones, as they adhere much better than bigger rice puffs. I used a container of RiceMellow, which is made using a combination of brown rice syrup, soy protein and other natural stuff. I simply followed the same directions as if I was making Rice Krispies treats. That was the only time I made anything with a vegan marshmallow sub, and it turned out pretty well.

Answer 6

There's a recipe in "La Dolce Vegan," but the woman who provided the recipe said that she made them with the Emes before their lies came to light.

Pangea (www.veganstore.com) has a marshmallow called Vegan Sweets. It's best to use it in recipes rather than eating from the bag. Vegan Essentials (www.veganessentials.com) sells a brand called Sweet and Sara that's pretty good, but REALLY expensive.

Answer 7

Yes!
Grab a pen to write this down.
First, take some veggies.
Second, get some Marshmallows.
Lastly, mix them all up in a bowl and eat with a spoon. (Forks will also work with this recipe).
Hope this helps!

Answer 8

No. But the marshmellow used in Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream is veggie. It's my favorite. Sooooooooo good!
